No cover charge. First come, first seated.
The Lucky Ones are a band from the Yukon Territory, their unique brand of country-roots music imparts traditional arrangements with a contemporary disposition, reminiscent of old-time dances in hotel taverns, barrooms, barns, kitchens, and saloons. Since releasing their self-titled debut album in 2021, The Lucky Ones have quickly come to be regarded as one of Canada’s finest roots music ensembles. The group’s sound is built on a foundation of traditional bluegrass and honky-tonk and expressed through the distinctive song writing of its core members. Following in the footsteps of Northern country troubadours such as Hank Karr, Buddy Tabor, Al Oster, and Joe Loutchan, The Lucky Ones’ music brings its audience into the hard-lived lives and rugged landscape of Canada’s last frontier. The band is currently touring their most recent release, A Nickel for the Fiddler (2024). Recorded live-off-the-floor at Ganaraska Recording Company with JUNO Award-winning musician and producer, Steve Merriner (Monkey Junk/Colin James), and Jim Bowskill (Blue Rodeo/The Sheepdogs), the album is honest, no-frills, hillbilly injected bluegrass with some country swing sprinkled in for flavour. With features in No Depression, The Bluegrass Situation, CBC, BBC, and more, A Nickel for the Fiddler has received wide acclaim throughout Canada, United States, and abroad.
